THREE SQUIRRELS IN GOLASHES

Three squirrels in galoshes  
went splashing down the lane~  
one wearing red, one yellow, one purple,  
all dancing in the rain.  

They leapt across the puddles  
with a whoosh and a watery plop,  
till the storm itself grew jealous  
and begged them all, Please stop! 

But squirrels don’t take orders,  
especially not from weather~  
so they twirled in their bright galoshes  
and splashed off together shouting,
You don’t bother us weather!
